Religious eugenics: How Saudi Arabia is sponsoring a frightening new movement in the ME

Blanketed by its wealth and protected by political alliances, Saudi
Arabia has covertly run and promoted a new movement in the Middle East:
religious eugenics, under the false pretense of opposing the rise of
Iran. From Syria to Bahrain and Yemen the evidence is overwhelming.

Earlier this August, the Red Cross added its voice to those of other
humanitarian and rights groups in its condemnation of Saudi Arabia's war
in Yemen, lifting the lid on Riyadh's little house of horrors in
southern Arabia.

In no uncertain terms Peter Maurer, the head of the international Red
Cross told reporters he had seldom witnessed such degree of devastation.
He said: "Yemen after five months looks like Syria after five years ...
The images I have from Sanaa and Aden remind of what I have seen in
Syria."

He stressed "the firepower with which this war is fought on the
ground and in the air is causing more suffering than in other societies,
which are stronger and where infrastructures are better off and people
are wealthier and have reserves and can escape."

A country in ruins, Yemen is also a nation in permanent
mourning, as every day its people are relentlessly slain - casualties of
a violent and murderous colonial war - the latest victims of Riyadh's
expansionist military campaign in the Middle East.

According to official UNICEF tallies, "close to 2,800
people have been killed and almost 13,000 people injured (including 279
children killed and 402 injured, respectively). An estimated 1 million
people have been internally displaced (an increase of 122 percent since
the crisis began), and some 400,000 people have sought protection in
neighboring countries."

While such figures are horrifying, they fall short of the truth.
Agencies on the ground have already said that well over 500 children
have been killed in Saudi-led air raids, most specifically in northern
Yemen, where the war has been most devastating and aggressive. On
average, children account for a quarter of all deaths and casualties. Read more

ARE YOU A CITIZEN OR A SUBJECT?

The inability to grasp the pathology of our oligarchic rulers is one of our gravest faults. We have been blinded to the depravity of our ruling elite by the relentless propaganda of public relations firms that work on behalf of corporations and the rich.

We need to remember that, psychopaths and other personality disordered individuals really have no choice but to be what they are; they are like forces of nature. But normal human beings DO have a choice as to whether they will accept abuse or not. By accepting abuse, they give power to the psychopaths to abuse others so it is not just a matter of self-preservation; it is a matter of making sure that our children have a future. It seems that, in a world where the people cannot or will not, rise up against psychopathy in power, the Cosmos will do it for them, and take them out as well for their silence and their weakness. The bottom line is, nobody and no event is going to “save” anyone. It is only human beings, individually and collectively, who have the power to BE salvation.” – Laura Knight-Jadczyk

Plans for control of the evil forces that have been loosed in the world, attempts to compensate the evil- doing by good works or sympathy for the victims, efforts to safeguard the peace or to effect ideal solutions of all the material problems involved, can do little to change the nature of the situation. The real problem, namely, the question of what can be done for civilization in face of the nonhuman forces arising from the collective unconscious in thousands or rather millions of individual persons, will remain untouched. However, if only one human being has met and solved the problem in himself, he will be a living demonstration of a solution. Such an individual carries with him the germ of a renaissance of the spiritual values of mankind.
